Bread and butter photography

I used to take nature and landscape photos that I sold to different publishers. I used to call them bread and butter photos since they were a important source of income for me. They paid for film, photo paper, chemicals and new camera gear. The market for bread and butter photos are minimal today. The main reason is that many photographers doesn't charge enough money for their pictures and it's to hard to compete with photographers who give away their photos to publishers for almost nothing. The colour version of the photo in this article was sold to an calender. I took the picture with a good old Canon EOS 1Ds with a Carl Zeiss 28/2,8 T* that was mounted on a tripod.Text and Photo: Mikael Good
